OverlorDS FAQs

It seems that the same questions get cycled through especially on this board, so I thought that a brief list of FAQs might be helpful to newcomers to the game.

---

What is OverlorDS?
It is a text-based role-playing game in which you take the role of a user to eventually become the ultimate website overseer, the Overlord.

How do I play OverlorDS?
You can play the game here. Once you click 'continue', you can create a character.

Which character should I choose?
Each choice has different advantages; allowance is your money that lets you buy stat-helping items, caffeine allows you to perform actions, and battery allows you to battle. The more you have of one allows you to be more efficient in that aspect.

Why is there an admin name under my username?
In case you forgot, that's the character you chose. It has nothing to do with the actual admin.

I've used up my battery and my caffeine. What do I do now?
You have to either wait for the stats to recharge with time, or you can buy an appropriate item from the shop.

Does battling get easier when my Awesome Points go up?
The chances for winning a battle are pretty much always 50-50.

Are some NPCs easier or harder?
They all have the same difficulty to beat.

What does Sunlight do?
It's an item that slightly increases one's chances of beating Blacula.

What are "Updates"?
That used to be a list of the updates made to the game. But the game has been finalized for awhile, so don't expect any new ones.

How many Awesome Points do I need to reach Overlord?
Exactly 16,383.

My site rep turned to "Banned". Am I really banned?
No, you don't actually get banned, so there's no need to be cautious about that.

My site rep went down, but I didn't even battle anyone. Why?
When you play OverlorDS, other players who are playing at the same time can battle "you". If they win, your site rep can decrease and eventually become "Banned".

Do I actually become an Overlord?
Contrary to popular belief, no. OverlorDS is just a game.

Are the leader boards real?
Even though some of the numbers may look fishy because some players like playing with their numbers, yes, they are real.

So I got Overlord. What now?
If you got Overlord status, you've beaten the game. Congrats on the badge, and you can always try to compete with the leader boards. Also, a sequel to the game is planned to be made for the Nintendo 3DS browser.

Catch my drift.

But .....

What If you did something wrong in the past and everytime you battle something it says something bad you did?

How can you stop that?

I'm back!!!!!

@Blueknight22 That means you lost the battle. And that can't be prevented (unless you forgo battling) because the probability of winning/losing a battle is usually equal.

Catch my drift.

But even if I win it will say that .....

I'm back!!!!!

I don't get this game. I just tried it and it was kinda lame. No real interaction and all of the actions were lame too. do they get better later on or something?

People die when you kill them.

@VainGlory As you progress, better actions and items become unlocked.

Catch my drift.

@smokingbrandon You need to hit "Uber" level to unlock the 'Adminja Night!' action.

Catch my drift.

'...Sunlight increases chances of defeating Blacula...' how much does it increase it by?

Hate is such a weak emotion

Probably not much, since he said that you get a 50/50 chance. I'd think, 53/50.

Goodbye.

You didn't actually do it, it's just a string of text randomly selected from an array. (Text randomly selected from a list)

I don't understand OverLorDS What's the point lol
It confuses me

@kenshin With the assumption that you've read everything up above: it is a game, and the point is to beat the game.

Catch my drift.

do you lose the game if you are banned?

Work Hard8) Play HardB:D In That Order!O:-)

i have like no money. where can i get some

do you lose the game if you are banned?

Nope. If you become "banned", it just means you can't battle. The site rep does refill over time, so you can battle again if you wait a little.

i have like no money. where can i get some

Do actions. That's the only way to get allowance.

Catch my drift.

thanks @limxzero my caffeine max is now 113 >O:)
